Is living in Brooklyn worth it?
Any of you have any insight into whether it's worth it to live in Brooklyn and commute to work in the city (particularly Midtown)? I'll be starting FT in IB next year and am looking into housing options. I'd like to keep my budget below $2000, and ideally live alone.
I know there are some pretty small studios in Manhattan for that price. Brooklyn has better options, but obviously is farther away. Is the commute from Brooklyn - Midtown doable (I'll probably be taking Ubers back home most nights, if that changes anything).
Would appreciate some thoughts, thanks!
The L train has been under major construction so that has been an issue. That aside Brooklyn will give you a great value and the typical unobstructed commute is not far at all.
my former roommate moved from manhattan to brooklyn and loves it...live near a subway stop that is a straight shot to work and you'll be fine...lots of bars and restaurants...often even more than manhattan.
I think it is worthwhile if you are open to a somewhat longer commute. Selecting a neighborhood on a direct train line to midtown is key when living outside of Manhattan - for Williamsburg and Bushwick, try to live near the M train.
